Goodbye Tree

James and I are discovering that we can do this entire "Home Owner Thing". Since we are 2.5 years into this process, we should be getting the hang of it.

Up until now we have basically done all the work on the house ourselves (minus the AC repair - but really AC repair in the 100 degree heat - no intelligent husband decides to tackle that task!).

Last week we hired a company to come take down our "Nemesis" (some people refer to this as the tree growing over our deck). James has wanted to do it himself but the tree was a very soft wood so he could not climb the tree. He has climbed on the roof to tackle the tree. He has dangled from the side of the porch. And thankfully he has survived all these experiences. But it is hurricane season and the tree really needed to come down!

The lesson that we learned: we will probably just continue doing home repair work ourselves ;)

Lydia spent the morning playing by the door so she could watch. 



Lydia took this picture outside (we will work on her technique later!). 

I think she was a bit scared as the guys were climbing on the deck! 

And after watching the process all morning, she declared that she wanted to climb on the roof too!
